Liver tumors (also known as hepatic tumors) are abnormal growth of liver cells on or in the liver. Several distinct types of tumors can develop in the liver because the liver is made up of various cell types.

It is the third most common liver tumor in children, the most common benign vascular tumor of the liver in infancy, and the most common symptomatic liver tumor during the first 6 months of life. [14] These hemangioendotheliomas have 2 growth phases: an initial rapid growth phase, which is followed by a period of spontaneous involution (usually ...
Previously it was estimated to be 20–40 years, mean ages 27 years, [25] but when analysis is restricted to those patients who are confirmed with a molecular test to have FLC, the age range is 10-40 and mean age of 21 years. [19] Unlike the more common HCC, patients most often do not have coexistent liver disease such as cirrhosis.
